House of the Day: 13 Cranberry Street
With all the ado about 155 Warren Street last week, it seemed like a good time to take a gander at 13 Cranberry Street. Located between Columbia Heights and Willow, the 25-footer is pure Brooklyn Heights goodness. At 4,600 square feet (as opposed to over 7,000 for the Cobble Hill house), the single-family pad has…
With all the ado about 155 Warren Street last week, it seemed like a good time to take a gander at 13 Cranberry Street. Located between Columbia Heights and Willow, the 25-footer is pure Brooklyn Heights goodness. At 4,600 square feet (as opposed to over 7,000 for the Cobble Hill house), the single-family pad has all the old-school architectural details intact along with some modern improvements (like the kitchen) to go along. So what price princeliness? A cool $8,000,000.

The comps have spoken.
Well, you know, taste is a very personal thing. In some ways, value is too. It depends on what you want. This house strikes me as very attractive. Like most of the neighborhood, it was probably built in the 1840s. And it was renovated with love and care and the family has lived there for seven or eight years – so it’s not a question of splashing the paint on and turning it quickly. I assume the broker reco’s a price that is optimistic but attainable. It seems to me from a cursory following of selling prices here and in the Times that people still get asking price or above pretty regularly in Brooklyn. Also, I wonder why having a garage is such a big deal – you can get a space in a garage down the street for $300 a month. Hardly worth an extra million or two. A lot of garages/coach houses were turned into living space in the Heights.
The only thing stunning about this house is the price.
Hey, just wondering how much everyone got for their bonus this year?
Take care!
Well said 12:10. This home is a stunner.
Shalom Harlow was a model/actress that had some degree of publicity in the 90s. And no, you should definitely not care.
ps – Welcome to Brooklyn, Shammie!
You seem to be in the vast minority, 12:01.
This home is gorgeous and I’d say 99% of the population would think so.
You probably think everything sucks.
Go vote for Romney and leave us alone.
Yep, definitely a bland house for the $8 million pricetag. For that dough, I’d expect either a ton of remaining detail or a garage–something that merits that kind of money. I thought I’d be blown away when I clicked on the listing, considering the asking price.
Who on earth is Shalom Harlow? And is there a reason I should care?
